Ambleside July 18
« on: July 19, 2004, 12:36:16 PM »

A few of my buddies surprised me with a chartered fishing trip yesterday (I was expecting a hike).  Trolled Coyote spoons with flashers along ambleside for 5 hours yesterday.  Lots of fish on the sounder, not many caught although I did see one good sized coho boated.  Towards the end of our trip, we boated a nice spring on a white and chartreuse coyote spoon behind a pink OK flasher, nice fish about 13-14 lbs, very deep body with big shoulders on it ;D.  It was cool to see my newbie buddies try to manage the single action mooching reel :D :D :D, not to mention the big bruise one got from anchoring the rod but in his gut...(hmmm never happened to me before!?!?!? :o)  Was kind of weird having crew to run the lines for me....I am used to doing all this work myself.  Beautiful day, good buddies, nice comfortable boat, lots of food and drink...what more can a guy ask for? ;D

I had my binocs on the beach and peir casters all day, no fish as far as I could see but my observation was only intermitent.

Steelheadking, too bad the guy who organized the trip did not know any of my fishing buddies, it would have been good to have you guys along.

How deep were you fishing when you got that spring? and what part of the tides did you fish?
